I noticed what I thought was the very tiny jumping spider I had previously seen in our potted lantana foliage so took a couple of handheld photos. Wondering why it wasn't moving I looked closer to find it was actually the shed exoskeleton of the 'extremely' tiny jumping spide. They leave one behind each time they grow larger. First time to see one. Assume the spider will be larger and easier to photo now. :) When I saw it serval days before it was extremely tiny. Had one actually jump on top of my lens when taking a macro a couple of years ago!
We do the best we can with the subjects available to us at the time.

Nikon D4s. Tamron 180mm Macro. 1/2000th @ f/10. ISO 4000. EV = - 2/3
Just a record shot for an uncommon caterpillar for sharing. Like its beautiful color. It was taken at about 6pm today after a quite heavy rain at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve under canopy, and I have to use front curtain flashes for it as the lighting condition was so poor.
FL 105mm, 1/60sec-F/20, ISO 500, AP, EC +0.3, FEC -1.0 for both Built-in (Commander) and the remote flashes. Handheld, BTNR.
At least a self portrait of my camera lens and ring flash in a frog-eye lens. I did not fire the flash on this shot. You can see my right shoulder. I'm wearing a white t-shirt. This fearless frog loves to pose! I think it's a he and he's a green frog. He lives in our garden pond. What should we name him?
Ok - so I am going mad with moon shots ... but to explain, I am trying out a new teleconversion lens (Sony VCL-DH1758) on my S5. This shot was handheld and only the contrast was adjusted.
"We'd been offered a trip
from which we would surely be returning soon,
wouldn't we.
A trip outside eternity -
monotonous, no matter what they say,
and foreign to time's flow.
The chance may never come our way again.
We were besieged by doubts -
does knowing everything beforehand
really mean knowing everything.
Is a decision made in advance
really any kind of choice.
Wouldn't we be better off
dropping the subject
and making our minds up
once we get there.
We looked at the earth.
Some daredevils were already living there.
A feeble weed
clung to a rock,
trusting blindly
that the wind wouldn't tear it off.
A small animal
dug itself from its burrow
with an energy and hope
that puzzled us.
We struck ourselves as prudent,
petty and ridiculous.
